“Why I can’t stop going nude” – Precious (PHOTOS)
Speaking with DailyPost correspondent, the highly determined model disclosed that she had completely lost trust in men, as none appears to be sincere to women; hence, her major concern was to push her career up the ladder, leaving men to wonder at her super confidence.
She said, “I’m confident, I know that. It’s only with extreme confidence that you can see your own nudity in public. I allow it because I want to sell myself to the world. This is me, and you cannot deny me of me. I’m not selling myself to men as some may want to believe, I’m selling my flexibly, my natural endowment and other things God has endowed in me to those who want to buy, so if my market is not for you, you just shut your mouth and see where Precious is ‘gonna’ be in the next five years”
Disclosing further, she said “Life has thought me to be bold. I have seen both the good and the bad, and if you think it’s easy to survive without the love of a father and a mother, even when they are still living, then you are just being insincere”
“I’m passionate about what I do because, it’s only with this continuous pursuit of my career that I am revitalized any time I’m consumed and lost in the world of anguish.”
At this age, I’m considerably successful, as I keep working for myself even when any man who wants to help you makes some silly demands from you. I’m not budged by any of such intimidation as they will quickly say “if you don’t give me this, I won’t give you that.”
Precious had narrated a sad story of how her parents parted ways when she was still a little girl. She had narrated how her step mother put her father under a spell, and leaving her father in a continuous state of memory loss that he can no longer recognize them. “My father sent my mum out of his house after a woman came into his life years ago. Her charm has turned my father’s love away from us, as he can no longer recognize us as his children, but that has not killed my dream. Each time I call my dad on the phone, to introduce myself; he would act so strange, with all hatred. He denies us every time. But I’m happy. I’m happy because I’m doing something that makes me happy.”
Precious is one of the most popular models in Abuja who has not failed to be part of great modeling event. She currently owns and manages a modeling company and will be contesting in the next edition of Miss Abuja, and Miss Middle Belt.

Sex-starved man demands N1.2m refund from wife’s parents
Malam Mukailu Naibi of Keke Village, Kaduna, whose wife allegedly starved him of sex for two years, on Wednesday demanded N1. 2 million as compensation from the wife’s parents before an Abuja Area Court.
Naibi, while testifying at the resumed hearing of the case, told the court that the amount, covered the bride price he paid before marrying Maryam, his wife.
He also told the court that the amount also covered the cost of damages done to the house after Maryam allegedly set the house on fire before fleeing to court to seek divorce.
He also tendered written documents with records of all expenses made on his estranged wife and her parents, in addition to a witness to testify in his favour.
Naibi, aged 37, had told the court that his wife had refused to make love to him since they got married two years ago.
He also accused her of setting their house on fire.
“Your Worship, since we got married two years ago, my wife never allowed me to make love to her for once and all my attempts to do it always led to fighting.
“I married her out of love and I still love her, but with this development, I have no choice, but to ask the court to grant her divorce wish for the sake of peace,” Naibi said.
In her testimony, Maryam, who is 16 years old told the court that her husband made love to her once, but that she was not impressed and so she wanted a divorce.
“I don’t love him, I don’t love anybody who bears his name and I hate anybody who loves him,” she told the court.
Maryam’s mother who was her only witness in court denied most of Naibi’s claims but admitted some, saying that Maryam’s father was in a better position to clarify some issues.
The Judge, Haruna Masanawa, after hearing all the submissions of the parties in the case, ordered the court’s registrar to summons more witnesses, including Maryam’s father.
He adjourned the case to Jan. 16, 2013 for further hearing. (NAN).

Principal in trouble for conducting unauthorized virginity test on Nigerian students
A secondary school Nigerian principal has been dragged before a local Police post in Ogun state for conducting virginity tests on her female students with her bare hands without the cosnsent of the students and their parents.
The principal was dragged to Ajuwon police station by parents of the students for carrying out virginity tests on their wards without their permission.
DailyPost gathered that the students took to the streets last week in protest of the principal’s action which took place in her office.
It was learnt that the principal, Mrs Aladeojebi accused most of them of promiscuity and later forced them to her office to carry out a virginity test on them with her bare hands.
An SS1 student who was in tears while narrating her ordeal to her parents accused the principal of using her hands to puncture her ‘honey pot’.
Subsequently, other parents were informed and the matter was reported to Ajuwon police station.
DailyPost gathered that Mrs Aladeojebi reportedly confessed of inviting a trained nurse to conduct the test, emphasising that an egg was used and not her hands.
“It is totally unacceptable for a school principal to conduct virgin test. Is that part of the school syllabus or was it ratified by the Ogun state government?” one of the witnesses asked in a rhetoric mood.
Furthermore, a parent stressed that the action was tantamount to sexual abuse, adding that most parents feared the case might be swept under the carpet.
However, all efforts to get an official statement from the police proved abortive as at press time.

Bizarre! China held Masturbation Contest
This event was held on December 1st to celebrate safe sex on World AIDS Day. Even though many people have criticized the masturbation segment of the event, majority of the participants will tell you that the safest sex is the one does in the realms of the imagination.
According to the organizers, the Masturbation contest was to mark the HIV risk-free sexual freedom as sponsored by sex toy manufacturer, Aihuirun.
10 male participants wore masks to hide their identities and cover their genitals with buckets where they would eventually ejaculate into. They all carried out the action in the presence of thousands of people who witnessed the event.
Nigerian Magistrates' Court sentences man to 2 years in prison for stealing Chicken
A 20-year-old man, Matthew Iroko, was on Thursday sentenced to two years in prison by an Abeokuta Magistrates' Court for stealing a chicken, valued at N1,000.
The sentence, followed a plea of guilty by Iroko, after he was arraigned before Magistrate Idowu Olayinka.
Olayinka sentenced Iroko to two years in prison without an option of fine.
Earlier, the Police Prosecutor, Cpl. Augustine Ozimini, told the court that the offence was committed on Nov. 22, at about 6 a.m. at Apesin Compound, Osiele Abeokuta.
He said that Iroko, of no fixed address, stole a chicken belonging to one Mrs Taiwo Alani .
"Iroko stole the chicken and headed for Osiele market to sell it, the complainant (Alani) saw the chicken with him and raised an alarm.
``An angry mob nabbed and beat him. My lord, Iroko is a common thief, who has been stealing chickens in the community.
``He has been caught several times, but people pardon him and let him go.
"Am afraid my lord, if the court pardons him, he will steal again and he might not be lucky the next time if he is given the jungle justice," he said.
Ozimini argued that the offence contravened Section 390 (9) of the Criminal Code Law of Ogun, 2006.
In his ruling, Olayinka said, "From all the evidence before me, it is obvious that you are guilty of the offence.
"You are hereby sentenced to two years imprisonment with hard labour and without an option of fine." (NAN)

My Blessings are from God, not juju- Charlyboy
Only last week, Charlyboy’s inspirational story hit the social media, as his stupendous wealth got revealed exclusively through major news blogs. The story that went viral saw different bloggers picking it up for traffic drive. Readers of those sites have expressed variant opinions on the startling revelation. While some believed that Charlyboy’s wealth and fame are the rewards of his hard work, others in a contrary opinion see such wealth as a creation of the devil, the “blood money”
In a follow up on the story, our correspondent caught up with the Areafada during one of his morning walks. The Areafada who appeared comfortable with what anybody may want to think of him referred to the people who have such negative notion about him as ‘rubbish people’.
Charlyboy had asserted that individual’s notion of others depends on what they believe in, and as such, the belief that his wealth must be questioned is dependent on the trend in the society where majority of Nigerians now believe in the application of shutouts in attaining success. According to him, tenacity, doggedness, and consistency have all been thrown to the wind in this generation; hence, anybody who tries to break out of the jinx of poverty through personal effort is often considered an “Ogboni” person, or what has been termed illuminati. He said, “Like I will always say, what you see depends on where you stand. If you are a fetish and juju kind of person, everything that you do will be from that mindset. Due to the disgraceful poverty in our midst, either people put their fate in quick fixes or something miraculous because they need an escape from their present predicament and in a way, the existing trend in religion has increased the fear of the people. If you are not doing well in life, someone or some gods in the village are responsible for your own ineptitude. Your enemy somewhere is always holding down your opportunity of securing a job, If you do not get married as expected, you have been ‘jazzed’ and if your marriage is breaking up, it’s that neighbor of yours.
Speaking on how Nigerians now see religion as being solely responsible for their success or failure, Charlyboy said, “Religion is now seen as the opium of the masses or the poor. Because the government has failed them, they need to hang on to something at all time, and that thing is religion. As far as the people are concerned, some of them going through turbulent times are not responsible for their own wahala but something else, hence they must shift blames.
Reacting further on why some people tend to believe that his success was from some questionable sources, Charlyboy said it was because of the general societal notion. “If you are doing well, it will never be because you are working hard. It will never be because you have planned your life well. This is because you have people with great plans, yet results are not forthcoming, so I’m not surprised that they are thinking about me in this light.
Referencing political office holders, the Areafada said, “The distrust between the people and the government is another problem, as the people no longer believe that anybody in government can become successful without some level of corruption. It is something that has gotten into their heads, hence, in this era, they will continue to question people’s wealth even when the money was actually made through the person’s struggle and sweat. This is because most of our leaders have stolen public money, and have been left unquestioned. Because they are not in jail, respectable people are most of the time not associated with wealth, and wealth creation. What it means in this case is that negativity has taken over the land. Corruption has become the norm. Everything ‘bad’ is now the way. I don’t think we should blame them because nothing appears to be normal any more. To most of our people, something must be responsible for not doing well and most of the time, the devil is accused in that regards. This is what I call poverty mentality, frustration mentality and badbelle mentality”
Speaking on how the good life started and how tough it was in the beginning, Charlyboy said it was never easy when he began the journey. According to him, he was face to face with poverty even when he had no business with poverty. Divulging that he started from nothing like everyone else because of his personal vision and conviction, he said “I have been around for 37 years, God knows it wasn’t like this when I started. Ask my cousins and friends who know what I went through in the beginning. I suffered when I had no business with poverty. I was poor out of choice because I wanted to create my own thing. I didn’t want to live under anybody’s shadow”
Appreciating God on all he has done for him over the years; and appreciating God for consistency, tremendous focus and doggedness, he said “I thank God every day for making me a very determined person, for giving me beautiful children and grandchildren. I thank God for my health and my parents who at their age are not being carried from one hospital to the other. I thank God for the creativity. I have been able to use this richly endowed gift of creativity to confuse ignorant Nigerians who can never have enough of my antics. I thank God. I thank God for the discipline even when my mates are doing drugs, following women, drinking Alchohol and not planning their lives, I was busy pretending madness which made me smile to the bank while people chose to see whatever they wanted to see about me. I thank God that my life has become an inspiration to many young people whop are different and no longer bothered about what people think or feel about them. I’m humbled with how God is using me. Anything them like make them talk. If e vex them, make them go find juju wey go work for them. Russish people”

Pope Benedict XVI officially joins twitter
Dgr8t can authoritatively confirm that Pope Benedict XVI will officially join Twitter on December 12. The information says the pope will be twitting in eight languages, with @pontifex as his tweeter handle. This will run within the Christmas period, the Vatican confirmed on Monday.
“The first tweets will be answers to questions sent to the pope on matters of faith. The public can start sending them now,” the Vatican said.
Already 2,435 people are following the Pope since the announcement was made. An introductory message on the account is quoted thus: “Welcome to the official Twitter page of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI.”
The Pope will be responding to languages such as Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish and other languages that Vatican confirmed could be added in future.
“The pope’s presence on Twitter is a concrete expression of his conviction that the Church must be present in the digital arena,” the Vatican said while speaking on the twitter handle.
The statement further revealed that Pope Benedict wanted “to ensure that the good news of Jesus Christ and the teaching of his Church is permeating the forum of exchange and dialogue that is being created by social media”.

“How many piercings do you have on your private part?” Curios student asked Charlyboy at Kingsville College. (PHOTOS)
It was an eye opener for the teachers of Kingsville Academy in Abuja yesterday, when Charlyboy, one of the most celebrated Nigerian entertainer visited the school to speak to the students on career choice. The Areafada as he is fondly called by most Nigerians had one of the most fruitful interactive sessions with the students who reacted to his question on career choice in the most amazing way.
In a unanimous voice, the students had given varied reasons why it was imperative they make the ultimate decision of a career choice against the wish of their parents whom they believed would end up making the wrong choice for them. The students who appeared to be driven by their passion clearly avowed that career choice must be closely matched with what the child is passionate about. They also spoke on the need for their parents to understand and read the emotions of their children.
Reacting to the children’s answers, the Areafada had emphasized on the importance of education in whatever career a child prefers, stating that education was key to the development of one’s career. He emphasized that every child must weigh their career choice to understand the parent’s own point of view. While agreeing with the children, the Charlyboy Ministry of Youth Affair’s Founder said children were in a better position to tell exactly what they can excel in, urging the parents to always watch their children closely and to know their dreams and aspirations.
Charlyboy had reacted to different questions directed to him from the students as they tried to investigate certain controversial issues that surround the enigmatic brand. The children had asked questions ranging from his membership of Illuminati as purportedly held in some quarters, and the issue of gay. They had extended their questions to why Charlyboy has a skull image in front of his Punk Palace residence in Gwarinpa-Abuja.
In his reaction, Charlyboy had told the young chaps
that most of the things seen around him were work of art, as the skull in front of his house was creatively made by a 17 year old boy who spent only one month in his bus quarters to complete the job. He said “ I’m a Christian, I was born into a Catholic home. I’m more spiritual now than religious. I’m not gay. I’m married, a father and a grandfather. I have been married for over 35 years. I’m the way I’m because I’m a disciplined person. I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t smoke and I don’t womanize. I exercise my body every morning just to keep myself fit.
Reacting to the question on whether he cares about what people say or feel about him, CB said “ I don’t really care about whatever anyone thinks about me. Would you care if I say your hair is terrible when you know it’s not? I don’t think so. Since you know who you are, and you are confident in what you believe in, it then means you believe in yourself and won’t be bothered about what anyone may want to think about you”
The most controversial question that held Charlyboy down came from an SS 2 female student who wanted to know whether Charlyboy had piercings on his private part. Even though the AreaFada tried to avoid responding to the question, the students had insisted. They all exclaimed when Charlyboy gave them a knock for their persistence. Behold, he has 2 piercings on his private part.

CHARLYBOY, THE ARISTOCRATIC REBEL: UNTOLD STORY OF HIS WEALTH, COURAGE, AND SUCCESS PLUS HIS 200 MILLIION DOLLARS’ FORTUNE
(PHOTOS)
The path of self-discovery and originality from cradle to greatness is less traveled by sojourners because it is long, dusty, and turbulent with no shortcuts to the preferred destination. Great men like CHARLY BOY are not necessarily perfect. They only stand out from the crowd with a mark of distinction and deviation- daring to be who they truly are. Thus, they see, think and act above the norm of events. They do not speak the language of the immediate generation and are rarely understood by contemporaries because they are future-based and in some cases stigmatized as controversial until their perspectives and actions, for which they were stigmatized become obvious to the wondering society in retrospect.
Early in life, CHARLY BOY, like the Legendary Afro-beat King, FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI, was tossed between upholding his aristocratic status as first son of the renowned JUSTICE CHUKWUDIFU OPUTA, and establishing his originality on the sands of time by heeding the call of destiny to make a difference in his generation. He rebelled against parental interference in his career path with a determination to deliver himself as a gift to his generation. A decision he paid dearly for.
Consistent with his aristocratic background, CHARLY BOY attended the prestigious Harvard University; a world-class University in the USA with a track record of producing great world leaders including President BARAK OBAMA. He also studied Communications at Emerson University also in the USA.
Upon completion of his University education, CHARLY BOY returned to Nigeria, but against the high hopes of his father, he opted for the streets instead of accepting the plum job at Mobil Oil and Gas that was already secured for him ahead of his arrival by his influential father. At this point, the AREA FADA as he will be called by the area boys on the streets, incurred the wrath of his Parents who withdrew all their support for him describing him as a big rascal, and the black - sheep of the family.
Coping with the grim ordeals of his fluctuating fortune after his parent jettisoned him was not an easy task, but with the prospect of a glorious future in mind, CHARLY BOY doggedly faced the situation headlong and rose above the storms that threaten his self-actualization.
CHARLY BOY believes that no price is too much to pay to actualize a great vision. So upon losing the support of his Parent, he retired back to his village - Oguta in Imo State, Nigeria. And had to condescend to selling beer and pepper soup in a semi-beer joint to survive while his American wife, Lady D who became one of the strongest creative forces behind the success of the CHARLY BOY brand, was rumoured to have gone back to the United States to make money for their upkeep. In fact, he was accused of using juju on his wife who would never abandon him in spite of the many controversies surrounding him.
Another woman who played a key role at this most critical stage of CHARLY BOY’S development was the popular artiste, the late TYNA ONWUDIWE. She was instrumental to the movement of CHARLY BOY from the village to Lagos to pursue his entertainment career. Initially, it was not very easy as he delved into music, his breakthrough came through ZOOMTIME.
Today, CHARLY BOY is not only an entertainer but a house hold name and an enigmatic social engineer who has carved a niche for himself with an amazing cult followership. C.B as he is fondly called by close pals and loyalists chose a different path against the wish of his people and consistently pursued his vision to reality. The seemingly lost child has now become one of the most respected of his family and a reputable figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
From the days of no slippers like our President, to the years of lost future in the village, the enigmatic Area Fada began his journey. When little or nothing is heard about those he started with, CHARLY BOY has consistently kept his brand above boards. He is indisputably one of the most celebrated Nigerian entertainers, and obviously one of the richest celebrities in Africa.
Not much has been known over time about what the AREA FADA is worth in terms of wealth. Today, we have decided to dig into the world of fame and affluence of the AREA FADA, who navigated his way out of the artificial poverty he created for himself. Today, the Lost - sheep has become a child with a vision, and the same parents we hear live in his family house in Gwarinpa- Abuja.
It would be recalled that he had reportedly acquired a second-hand Helicopter in 2009 for his family use. Investigation had revealed that CHARLY BOY sold the Helicopter after one week of purchase due to some mechanical faults. However, the man who is synonymous with innovation zeal, zest and enthusiasm has continued to amass wealth for himself and his family through his artistic ingenuity.
CHARLY BOY who has been away to the United Kingdom for a tour is rumoured to have just acquired another second-hand Helicopter worth $780,000.00. It was rumoured that the Areafada bought the Helicopter from a company called Rim, which recently put up one of its Helicopters for sale. CHARLY BOY was said to have quickly rushed to the company to pay for the Helicopter. We cannot say exactly where the transaction took place.
As a result of this new development, we have taken a special timeout to gather very explicit and reliable information on the AREA FADA’S wealth profile from a source very close to the AREA FADA.
It is so shocking to know that CHARLY BOY has acquired apartments on every street in Gwarinpa, Abuja. It was further disclosed that out of his patriotism of the estate, Galadima bus stop and his street were named after him. The different houses he possesses have been put out to rent, as most of the tenants do not even have ideas on who owns them, as they deal strictly with the agents and his lawyers. His 25 buildings in Gwarinpa cannot be disputed. In recognition of his antecedents as a social engineer, some Bus stops in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Benin have been named after him.
The source had also given us some pictures he got from CHARLY BOY showing his different apartments abroad including Dubai (see photos), thirty landed property in Abuja including the newly secured CHARLY BOY YOUTH CENTRE, fleet of cars and power bikes, 3 apartments in Lagos, an apartment in the United States, and a night club in England.
A credible source had disclosed further that CHARLY BOY recently sold one of his apartments in Ghana. The Multi-billionaire has a mansion for an office just immediately after his house in the same estate.
CHARLY BOY has been rated by our reporter as one of the richest living celebrities in Nigeria. He has not only acquired fame, but stupendous wealth as well.
Despite the success, many troubling questions abound. Why has his life remained eccentric? Many have concluded that it is as a result of his wealth that he continues to spend money on make-ups, eccentric costumes. Some have said that it is because he feels so successful that he now sleeps in Coffins, keeps Python as a pet and a host of other weird things he does. Even at that, he is obviously not deterred by mounting criticisms as he appears to be too comfortable with his life-style.
Today, “The Stone that the builders rejected” has now become “the chief cornerstone” in the OPUTA family. The supposed stubborn child, and so called “big rascal”, and “black - sheep” of the family is now a positive reference point and major help to the family.
Despite his achievements, the General of the People’s army as he is sometimes called is down to earth. People who have met the Areafada one on one have confessed that his humility is to a fault. This is not unconnected to the place he stands in the society. This could also be a strategy he has put in place to be associate freely with the masses he advocates for.
Apart from his wealth, not many are even aware that the Areafada is a grandfather. Charlyboy is said to be happy with his 9 children who are all doing well in their various endeavors. They are mostly graduates. One of his sons is an Associate Professor at MIT, Boston.
His meteoric rise from grass to grace is not just phenomenal but inspiring. Certainly, behind every glory, there is a story. Indeed CHARLY BOY’S story is that of “from rags to riches”, “from cradle to greatness”, from obscurity to fame, from poverty to stupendous wealth and from failure to success in life. This is a story of vision, doggedness, consistency, tenacity, perseverance and great focus; an obvious inspirational story to the youth.

Unavoidable absence of Charlyboy from the Lagos-Okada rally; a case of ingratitude
Even though it is a known fact that Charlyboy, AKA, AreaFada rarely listens to advices because of his spontaneity in doing things and his passion towards certain goals, it is shocking to have learnt that he listened to the advice of his management team in the recent Okada protest where he was invited to champion the agitation of the Lagos branch of the Okada riders.
His New Wave Productions Media company that manages the brand has in a recent press statement given reasons why he was advised not to take part in the just concluded Okada rally in Lagos State. The press statement was signed by Adoyi Abah Ali
Details of the Press Statement below:
Unavoidable absence of Charlyboy from the Lagos-Okada rally; a case of ingratitude
We write to respond to the ongoing criticism from different quarters, particularly the Lagos state Okada’s Association and other affiliate bodies who took part in the just concluded Lagos-Okada protest against the Lagos State government for the ban placed on Okada in over 40 major roads in the state.
Lately, we have received calls from concerned Nigerians, asking us why the brand has remained mummed over the matter. In reasonable terms, we would like to respond by asserting that after having examined the nonchalant attitudes of the Lagos state Okada riders, coupled with the unimaginable ingratitude that characterize their union, as well as the factions and leadership insubordination, we resolved that the brand’s schedules and time were more precious than the Lagos-Okada rally.
Even as the brand and its managers do not subscribe to the ban on Okada, which will leave thousands of struggling Lagosians jobless and impoverished, we cannot align with a detached Association with such dysfunctional approach towards their own welfares.
In the light of the above, we would like to state that Charlyboy has in the past, shouldered different overwhelming responsibilities of the Okada people. Lagos has always been the point of reference, not only because of the population of Okada riders in the state, but also because of the visibility of the brand for over 20 years. Lagos no doubt was the cradle of the Charlyboy’s Okada phenomenon.
When the state government moved to ban commercial motorcycles from Lagos in 2002, Charlyboy was the only social activist who stood on their behalf to negotiate with the Government. His negotiation with key actors in government compelled the state government to rescind its decision. Hence, instead of banning Okada from the state, a big sensitization rally was held on Okada safety. Even though, few Lagos Okada riders have shown appreciation over his constant intervention in their matters, majority of the Okada riders have refused to see this, and have continued to allow the spirit of ‘Oliver Twist’ to use them.
It was his interest for the Okada riders, and his attempt to make the Okada business a more lucrative and reputable venture that he collaborated with the Simba Motorcycle to empower over 1000 Okada riders. The brand has parted with personal funds worth N100M over the years in his effort to empower Okada riders. In their normal character of taking almost everything for granted, they have never for ones been responsible for his flight tickets each time he goes out to join their rally anywhere across the country, neither have they been responsible for his hotel accommodation and feeding. His fight cuts across the country. Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Port Harcourt, and a host of other states have benefited from the Areafada’s gestures.
We would like to remind the Lagos branch of the Okada body who appear to have forgotten so soon, how over 500 Okada riders acquired their bikes on higher purchase through Charlyboy. We believe they could not have forgotten this so soon.
We would like to also remind the same Okada riders of the recent visit of the Areafada and some of the leaders of the Lagos State’s branch of the Association to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police’s office just 4 months ago. It was out of his love for the Okada people that he suspended his overseas’ trip and personally went to the commissioner to speak with him on the challenges of the Lagos state motorcyclists. After that day, many Okadas and their bikes were release from police custody.
On our part as the brand handlers and managers, we had made serious arrangements towards the success of the Lagos State’s rally. This is because we understand the feeling of the brand towards the Okada people around the country.
We would like to assert that due to the rally, Charlyboy’s tour to the United Kingdom was cut-shut and he returned even before the expiration of his tour, getting set to lead another very important segment of his constituency in a rally.
However, unfortunately, all the arrangements towards the involvement of the Areafada in the rally were being handled by some of their leaders who had assured that they were on top of the arrangement. We had high hope on them. Regrettably, they did not get back to us promised. Most disheartening was their nonchalant attitude towards the entire preparation. It was ironical, and a case of lack of commitment and ingratitude for the same people who were to get back to us on the possibility of the Areafada’s trip to Lagos to have called to confirm whether the Areafada was in Lagos. Even as mischievous as the caller sounded, it was ridiculous, and an indication of an unorganized leadership. We could have made an urgent arrangement for the Areafada’s trip, but the last call from the organizers clearly communicated to our team that the organizers of the rally as well as the leadership of the Okadas in Lagos are not truly committed to the course of the Okada people. We had used the development to envision what the rally was going to look like.
It was on this premise that management resolved that it was rather going to be a waste of the brand’s useful time to allow him set out on the journey despite his tight schedules.
We would like to aver that it was the highest level of indiscipline, selfishness and irresponsibility for the Lagos state branch of the Okada Association not to have afforded a round trip ticket of N60, 000 for Charlyboy to lead them in a protest they had considered the only available means and option to compel the Lagos state government to rescind its decision.
This singular act has communicated to us that the Okadas are not grateful for all that the brand has done for them in the past 27 years, hence we were left with the option of compelling the brand to stay away from the rally against his wish. We are happy that he listened to us.
Even though we were responsible for the absence of the AraeFada from the rally, the Lagos-Ikeja branch of the Okada Association must be blamed for our action, hence we plead that all questions regarding Charlyboy’s absence from the rally must be directed to the leadership of the Association.
We would like to reiterate that with what we experienced at the course of the preparation for the rally, there is the need for the Ikeja branch of the Okada Association to reposition and reorganize their leadership just for the progress of the Association.
On our part, we will continue to encourage the Areafada not to relent, and to keep his eyes on the welfares of the Okada people as this last action will not be considered a major reason to discard the constituency he has so much passion for. We therefore assure all Okada riders in Lagos and across the country to continue to rely on Areafada’s support as he is always ready to join them anytime he is called upon.
Thank you and God bless you.
Adoyi Ali, Charlyboy’s Press Secretary.

Heroes uncelebrated by Charlyboy
One pathetic thing that has happened during the weekend was the concert organized to raise fund for Meka who has been confided on his sick bed. One very important thing that I have noticed is the zeal and zest of our vibrant young people who have decided to save their own through a concert. I want to appreciate them for their effort. If ‘they’ cannot help us, at least we can help ourselves. That exactly was a repetition of our march to South Africa to save our sister, her blessed memory, Tyna Onwudiwe when I was still in charge of the affairs of the PMAN.
His concern
My major concern today is the way we tend to easily forget our entertainers. These guys have written their names in gold, but immediately they leave the scene, they are forgotten, simply gone with the waves. Must everything be named after our politicians? Must they owe everything in the country? What is our own benefit as entertainers? Don’t we possess the same rights? A few examples of this negligence will do.
CB cited examples from the past
The New Masquerade team had their good time only in the theatre or in the studio playing their roles. After the smiles and laughter, after the reconciliation they brought forth at the end of the civil war through their acts, the rest is history, as many people tend to forget about them. What about Elvis Ofor- Clarus Mgbojikwue of Ndil-Olumbe, Christy Essien Igbokwe, Apena, Claude Eke alias Jegede Sokoya, the Son of Idi of Idi-Araba ? In the case of Christy, her death was another platform for enriching self by her own artistes’ brothers and friends. What about Giringori Ekabogu of Ikot 4, the only poor man of Ethiopia who doubled as the director and the scriptwriter, but humbly assigned the role of a House Boy to himself? Giringigori brought out conspicuously the comical element embedded in the series. Today, what is left of the Honorable Poor man of Ethiopia is mere memories of his antecedents. No physical structures or monuments built to celebrate this great intellectual. His name only re- echoed after he died, and who knows if we would ever hear of him again?
Sam Okwaraji who died during a national assignment has just been forgotten like a chicken, so why blame the eagles if they now fly with chicken wings. That desired patriotism is gone today because death marks the end of that good record. Nobody will ever hear about you again.
Sam Loco Efe left the scene when the almighty death called; eventually, he left with that special smiles and laughter as the only gift. All we see today is the relics of his past, nothing else has been put in place to commend his roles in nation building. What about Ashley Nwosu and JT Tom West? It’s a pity we do not care to know how the families of these dudes are faring now.
His Advice
We must learn to invest in people while they are still here with us. This is the course I have decided to champion in order to live forever in the memories of others. The seed you sow in the lives of others is what makes life worth living, instead of engaging in lips services after the person had gone. My missionary journey this hour is to ensure that our past heroes are not swept away in the wave but to live for eternity in our memories. Support is what their families need.

This Charlyboy’s Linda we must possess
I write in relation to all the
questions that have been directed to my table regarding the supposed multiple
character of the Areafada. I write to respond to the growing concern over the
Linda’s character that will supposedly sit on the judges’ table of the Nigerian
Idol. I write to talk about the ingenuity of Charles Oputa, the brand creator
who has given us the essence of his existence, using different imageries in
order to bring to bare the reality we seek. I write to also assert that unless
you have the foresight of reading ahead of the book placed before you, thinking
ahead of your head, and of course with the capacity to live ahead of your time,
you will continue to wonder at every philosophy developed by the brand. His
ways are not conventional. Charlyboy has his face covered with an imaginary
mask, and until you have the mask unveiled professionally, you will continue to
overwork your brain. My dear, take it easy before you run amok with all that
talk of schizophrenia (mental disorder) because you obviously need indebt
knowledge to get through to the other side of the Areafada’s life that you have
little or no knowledge about.
However, from an inside understanding
of what the Charlyboy brand represents, I want to state that Linda as it is
called is not a different character nor a separate entity from Charlyboy brand. Linda is only an attitude,
that emotion; that goodness personified. Linda is that individual who is
closely associated with the emotion of a woman. Linda is domesticated. Linda is
an interesting individual with all the ability to handle all domestic issues.
Linda is a philosophy of the Charlyboy brand that tends to break away from the
feminist theory that certain jobs are meant for the women and some others are
reserved for the men. Linda is a philosophy that does not differentiate the
duty of a wife from the duty of the man of the house. The philosophy is in
agreement with the universal theory of “what a man can do a woman can do even
better”; “invariably, what a woman can do, a man can do much better”. Have you seen Charlyboy in the kitchen before?
He is so domesticated that you will begin to mistake him for Lady Diane. The
appearance is only a creation of that feminine picture in the mental faculty.
The appearance does not really define in exactitude the message the brand tends
to send through Linda. The lipstick, the pancake, and the eyelashes are not
really the emphasis of the message; they are mere symbols. It goes far beyond
all that paraphernalia. If you like, you can also refer to Linda as a message,
a message that is against the feminist theory that depicts the sociological
invisibility of women. To get his position straight, you must recall that one universal
line of criticism of the feminists is that women are not present in the social
analyses and social world of sociology. The language and analysis of classical
sociologists is that of men, male activities, and experiences, and that of the
parts of society dominated by males. Even till today, Nigerians assume that the
social world is primarily the public world of male activities, the labour
force, city life, and politics, and that women only dominate in domestic arena.
Nevertheless, because of what he is set out to do; because of his departure
from the norm as a lefty, he has created a platform and a philosophy to promote
one of the indispensable areas in the woman's world that the men folks must
emulate. It is as simple as this; that the men too can cook, take care of the
children, and nurse their babies; that the women on the other hand can as well
be resourceful and hardworking. She can equally go all out to struggle for the
family if she has the capacity to that as long as there is an understanding.
This is why Charlyboy can sometimes remain in Nigeria, taking care of the kids,
while Lady D runs around for the family. Charlyboy is so close to his mum and
his dad, contrary to most male children. Linda-that philosophy has imparted him
to do so; the place of the man and the woman in the family according to the
Linda philosophy is watertight, and cannot be totally separated, as any man who
tries to separate same will have his family crashed. Instead of saying Linda is
going to sit on the judge’s seat during the next Idol show, I would rather say peace,
humility, kindness, love, caring, understanding and most importantly hope will
occupy the seat even as the show is about to kick off. These are the basic
qualities in an ideal woman, and these, all the judges must possess in order to
find a way to encourage the youngsters who will set out with all their hope
just to grab the opportunity that will be created for them through the Nigerian
Idol musical contest. Linda is the philosophy that says that the woman’s
presence dominates and overshadows all other persona. That obviously could be
why he tries to bring Linda fought to the glare of the public for a better
appreciation of the womanhood.
We have all seen the philosophy of
the brand from a gory and demonic perspective. We have winked our eyes in
rejection and crossed our minds in acceptance, yet we have never appraised the
situation from an artistic perspective. Imagine that you are an artiste, and just
on stage to act out your role. Would you say that you only mounted the podium
just to scare people with horror acts without a message? I am not in doubt that many will continue to
wallow in ignorance, and will refuse, even if they understand, to accept this
reality. However, it cannot be disputed that messages of this nature are not
meant for the feeble and corrupt minds, because the only thing you will pick
out of the entire message and its attendant lessons is ‘evil’. Too bad, but it’s still very good for the few who
understand because “all creative people need something to rebel against, it’s
what gives their lives excitement, and it’s creative people who make their fans
and followers’ lives exciting” Think about
this!
